A whimsical illustrated scene featuring a ghost sitting cross-legged inside a hollowed-out giant book that serves as a cozy reading cave. The ghost holds a smaller book and has a delighted expression with wide, happy eyes. The giant book's pages curve upward to form walls lined with tiny floating bookshelves filled with miniature volumes, glowing candles, and small decorative gourds. A curious black cat sits on the edge of the giant book, peering down at the reading ghost with bright yellow eyes. Above the scene, more books float in a gentle arc, their pages fluttering open to reveal glowing text. Wispy steam curls up from a floating teacup nearby, and autumn leaves dance through the air around the composition. The warm lighting comes from multiple sources - candle flames, the glowing book pages, and soft ambient light. The illustration maintains the same detailed line work and cross-hatching technique with the warm earth tone color palette of greens, oranges, browns, and cream. Additional magical elements include tiny floating pumpkins and sparkles of ethereal energy. The design is print-ready, fully isolated on a white background with no shadows or textures, fully contained within canvas boundaries with no cut-off elements and proper margins around all elements, and intended for use in t-shirt printing. | PODspy AI Design
